Ishan Kishan Faces Criticism After Early Dismissal in India vs New Zealand T20I
Indian wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan faced criticism after scoring a three-ball duck in the fourth T20I against New Zealand in Auckland. Fans questioned his selection over Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and his wicketkeeping role replacing Sanju Samson. Despite a strong overall T20I record in 2023, Kishan's performances in South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia (SENA) conditions have been underwhelming, raising concerns ahead of upcoming ICC World Cup tournaments hosted in these regions.
